Also, Nader did not "help the GOP". That would be Gore and his awful "I'm not liberal!" campaign. Who says so? Al Gore. He's admitted to running a terrible campaign in 2000, losing states he should have won. Winning any of those other states would have made Florida moot.

Would vote for him in the general, but don't think he has much chance of getting there.
